inc Usage and options

Increment the version number in both the bower.json and package.json files.

Warning: this package assumes that the version is always a valid SEMVER.

Usage

Following the rules of SEMVER, increment the version of your repo consistently across files without having to do any math yourself!

inc [major | minor | patch]

The following are guidelines to knowing how to change the version:

• major version when you make incompatible API changes,
• minor version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
• patch version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

[From semver.org]

Examples

Say you add a new function that is still backwards compatible with previous versions. Just run the following and the tool will update both the bower and package files.

inc minor

# Outputs:
#    Moving 1.1.8 --> 1.2.0
#    bower.json updated.
#    package.json updated.

If you run inc with out specifying a type of change, you will get the following menu:

Current Version is 1.1.8, What should I make the the new release to be? (enter option number)
        1 - Major: 2.0.0
        2 - Minor: 1.2.0
        3 - Patch: 1.1.9

Enter 2 for a minor change and so on.
